道德资本主义的经济学:涩泽荣一的道德经济合一论

The Economy of Moral Capitalism: The Unity of Morality and Economy in Shibusawa Eiichi's Theory

在明治时期,日本著名实业家、思想家涩泽容一提出了"道德经济合一"即"合本主义"理论,该思想不仅在日本近代文明发展中发挥了重要的启蒙作用,而且对当今世界发展仍具有重要的意义。本文以比较研究为主线,对涩泽的道德经济合一论进行了分析。研究表明,涩泽的思想与亚当斯密的道德学说之间,既有相似性,又存在着根本的差异。与日本明治时期另一位著名的启蒙思想家福泽谕吉的理论相比,倡导坚持儒家伦理、在经济活动中道德与利益并重的涩泽容一,在实践上践行了其主张,并从中加以提升其思想。

During the Meiji period, prestigious Japanese entrepreneur and thinker Shibusawa Eiichi put forward a theory of “the Unity of Morality and Economy”, namely. His theory not only played an important role in enlightening Japanese people in the modern period, but is still significant in today’s world development. This paper conducted a study of Shibusawa Eiichi’s unity of morality and economy theory from a comparative perspective, showing that Shibusawa Eiichi’s idea has a similarity with Adam Smith’s theory, but there is also a fundamental difference between their views. Compared with another enlightener in the Meiji period, Fukuzawa Yukichi, Shibusawa Eiichi advocated following Confucianism, emphasizing the equal importance of morality and interests in economic activities, meanwhile he also put his idea into practice, and constantly improved it through practice.
